About Larissa

I am a compassionate and reliable childcare professional with over 8 years of hands-on experience caring for children from infancy through school age. I have worked as an au pair and as a direct support professional, providing individualized care for children and young adults with diverse needs. I enjoy creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment and planning age-appropriate educational and recreational activities that support social, emotional, and cognitive development. I am comfortable assisting with daily routines such as meals, homework, and bedtime. I am CPR and First Aid certified and known for being patient, attentive, and dependable. I value open communication with families and strive to build trusting, long-term relationships. Fluent in English and Portuguese, I bring a calm, positive presence into every home I support.
